EVANSVILLE, Ind. — A Vanderburgh County court has ordered the wife of a slain Evansville firefighter to vacate their home in the next month.

The estate of EFD’s Robbie Doerr, 51, is in probate court with Doerr’s daughter Lindsey Doerr acting as personal representative.

Lindsey Doerr filed a motion last month asking the court to temporarily freeze any assets her late father’s widow, Elizabeth Fox-Doerr, might claim from the estate. The request was granted with no objections Thursday morning during a hearing in Vanderburgh Superior Court.

The motion references Fox-Doerr’s alleged actions the night her husband was fatally shot in front of their North Side home. Fox-Doerr faces obstruction of justice and false informing charges for allegedly tampering with her phone’s call records.

She was accused of deleting a record of a call she received shortly before calling 911 to report Doerr had been shot. Evansville Police Department has stated Fox-Doerr is only being investigated for the obstruction of justice case and in connection with the events of Feb. 26.

Lindsey Doerr asked the court to prohibit Fox-Doerr from claiming any of Robbie Doerr’s assets until the end of the legal proceedings in the obstruction of justice case.

Magistrate Renee Ferguson granted the motion and ruled Fox-Doerr and her son would have to vacate the Doerr home on Oakley Street by May 6.
